Jan. 2025

Game visuals and music are awesome, the main reason why I bought it. Gameplay is interesting though for me personally it was a bit weird to get into first (the way the character glues into cover and all that, but now I really love how important cover is). But honestly it also feels like could be way more, there's some bugs and the progression isn't really satisfying (you complete the main story really quick, gain new items by random enemy drops)... It's definitely a good experience though, but after playing roguelikes like Hades I can see how good it could actually be, would love a sequel that polished and expanded the gameplay.

Dec. 2024

Although this game is getting a positive rating out of me, I do still have some complaints about it. 1. The game is still littered with bugs. Including some run-ending bugs that are really frustrating to run into. 2. The game has been abandoned by the developer, meaning these bugs are unlikely to be fixed. 3. There is some level of jank to the game, specifically around movement and interaction(s) Now for the positives, the game has a pretty compelling art style similar to a Hellboy comic and the story although not perfect, is serviceable. And its got some pretty good ideas in terms of world building and content.

great game, took me a while to get into it, just not really my game but once you do its enjoyable and challenging. good story, the art style is unique amd enjoyed playing through.

Sept. 2024

The combat is very simple but the different timings with the weapons add a little spice to the mix, making each run feel stylistically different. Sometimes you get just the equipment for a run n' gun, other times its more like a hunker down and dodge everything in a well timed manner type of run. The western style is fully utilized here and feels excellent to be in. if you're a fan of westerns and roguelikes then this is the one for you.

Sept. 2024

The game is nice, but it is quite slow, especially during transitions, story and conversations. Also controls can be quite uncomfortable and misleading as character tends to stick to obstacles and hideouts in a very extreme and dangerous moments that influences gameplay and control of the moment. In result death and restart. I am playing with the use of gamepad.
